I take the stairs. I fear elevators. Always afraid of them since I was 11, and after hearing many elevator accident stories, watched Final Destination 1, and watched a certain episode on the anime Another, that just supports my fear of elevators. Whenever I was little and my mom chose the elevators, I always begged her to choose the stairs because I was always afraid that we would get stuck in one or it will crash down. She takes the stairs for now on because I gave her the fear of elevators.

It really depends. If im going up like 1-6 stories than i would take the stairs, it seems faster to use as i run up them like a 3 year old and you get some exercise out of it. But over 5-6 stories and i would take the elevator.

It depends on whether I feel to lazy to walk or there's too many stairs. Other than that, I prefer the stairs also. Last time I was on one at a place I used to stay at, the elevator almost stopped before reaching the floor and I was freaking out. I didn't ride that thing for weeks lol. At least I got a workout outta that.

Depends on how old the building is. Like in the Psychology building at my previous college, it was so old and rickety, it terrified me. But if it's a few flights, I'll take the stairs, except if my backpack is extremely heavy.

When I was a kid I used to be afraid of taking the elevator so I would always take the stairs no matter which floor I had to get to. Even tho I got over that now I still take the stairs if my destination is within five floors up just for the exercise.
